Outubro

Product Description The Brazilian jazz-rock band, Azymuth, is noted for its infectious blend of bossa nova melodies, hot samba rhythms, a splash of funk, and a dash of rock and roll. On Black Sun's reissue of Outubro, it proves to be a winning combination. This spirited ensemble tackles everything from the Flora Purim/Stanley Clarke classic, Light As A Feather (live version), to the electric energy of 500 Miles High, made famous by Chick Corea, to a host of spicy originals by Azymuth leader Jose Roberto Bertrami.Throughout Outubro, the musicians travel a fine line between technical innovation and the acoustic fury of their Brazilian heritage. Each member of this multi-faceted trio plays a vast array of South American percussion instruments with passion and precision. Synthesizers, vocoders, guitars, and electric bass add fuel to the fire, making it virtually impossible to sit still while listening to the recording. This music is irresistible; it makes you want to get up and dance. Black Sun's new version of the album also includes six additional cuts recorded live at Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Palace, illustrating why Azymuth's early concert tours of the United States in the late 70s solidified the band's recording career. About the Artist Azymuth features Jose Roberto Bertrami on keyboards and percussion, Alex Malheiros on bass and guitar, Ivan Conte on drums and synthesizers, and Aleuda on additional percussion. The group was formed in 1969 in Rio de Janeiro. Due to the overwhelming prominence of Brazilian vocal pop, Azymuth barely survived their first decade because of their insistence on playing jazz and samba influenced instrumentals. The band's break came in 1978, when Bertrami was invited to pen some tunes for an album by percussion virtuoso Airto Moreira. A tour with Flora Purim added to the group's notoriety and a few months later the musicians signed a recording contract. Azymuth's electrifying solos and heated percussion licks propelled their first release, Light As A Feather, to the top 10 in jazz charts worldwide. Several well received albums followed, including this 1979 recording session.
